  • Summary: A dark first person exploration game. You assume the role of a man on his last night alive as he obsesses over a mysterious painting. More of a story game in that it emphasizes mood and character over gameplay. Takes ten minutes to play and has "next-gen" features like a shrimp tank.

    The beauty of Barksdale’s work is in capturing the creeping unease that can come from wanting other people’s lives to make too much sense.

    While Static didn't really work for me, it's short, it's free, and certain aspects of it are very much open to interpretation. I've been sitting on this one for a while due to a fear of misrepresenting a piece of art that I don't entirely understand, but I can still recommend that interested parties check it out for themselves and come to their own conclusions.

A lot of Game designers don't understand the advantages of being indie and this game does. It's short, to the point and contains a specific story that will make you laugh, play and think all at the same time.… Expand
